of change divesting them of services which they have often pioneered and
always supported and fostered over many years.
My thanks are also due to Chief and other officers of Corporation
departments, statutory and voluntary organisations, for much advice and
help.
Officers of the Department have throughout the year given of their

will remain with, or eventually return to, local authority control where it
rightfully belongs.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
S.L. WRIGHT,
Medical Officer of Health
and Principal School Medical Officer.
